@GretaOfSpringwood It's both, really. It's a send-up of what used to be known on local television channels as The Late-Late Show, which aired cheesy b&w monster movies from the 1930s and 1940s. It's also the Carol Burnett cast (and guest Paul Sand) in their prime, having a great time.
The woman who played the greeting lady should have really done more work with Carol (at least this is the first time I've ever seen her). She had great comedic delivery.
I know what you mean, it's hilarious!. I'm still on the lookout for a skit that was done with the Pointer sisters as guest stars. They did a take on the "Cinderella" story, with Tim Conway portraying "Elfin" John. Vicky sang a song in that skit that was absolutely priceless. I'd love to get my hands on that one.
And Harvey Korman was The Fairy Godmother. Vicki was the Wicked Stepmother and the Pointer Sisters were the Wicked Stepsisters. GOD, I loved that episode.
It's on Amazon as part of the Carol Burnett Show Collector's Edition on DVD. Unfortunately, that particular volume(Vol. 25) is out of stock at the moment.
That's Edie Gormay. She is the wife of Steve Lawrence.

It may be dumb but this is one of my favorite Carol Burnett skits. Vicky especially shines in this one.

I think its funny that Carol Burnett's accent changes from British to American in a matter of less than 2 minutes. I like these cheesy skits.

I love Vicki's character, especially when she makes the "naughty naughty" sound.
